Hi Folks, i want to import a text file into CMud. I tried the load button for a new variable String list, but i
only got one long line. I tried to read the file line by line with #READ, but how do i user something like this:

#READ file.txt {add each line as new StringList-Item}

How can i build this?

Many thanks

Jason

Is each line going to be added to a single stringlist, or is each line going to become a separate stringlist variable all on its own?

If you are wanting the former, then use the %read() function instead. You can assign this result to a local variable, do whatever you need to do to it, and then when ready use the #ADDITEM command or the %additem() function to insert it into the stringlist.

If you are wanting the latter, then still use %read() but use #VARIABLE or a=b assignment syntax to create your variable instead of #ADDITEM/%additem.

Thanks MattLofton, ill take the first part. But still something weird is happening when i use String list.
I save a Stinglist a|b|c edit it and want to reload it, but sometimes nothing is shown, sometimes the old values a|b|c not what is really in the text file. Looks like something got cached?!
